Earn 'warning' from security when bounty hunting!

If you do any sort of 'serious' bounty hunting, I'm sure you know the frustration of a security ship flying through your weapon fire!

I was fighting at a RES the other evening, and had 1.5m worth of bounties built up. One of the security vessels got in the way and in an instant, I became 'wanted'... Everything turned on me, so I ran back to station. I was interdicted twice on the trip, then attacked outside the dock. All over 200CR... I was even shot again outside, after paying the fine!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could 'earn' a warning. For example, for each 500k worth on bountied targets illiminated, you get one warning when hitting a security ship. When that's been used you only get another warning at a further 500k from that point. If you shoot one before you've earned the warning, you will be fined, as you do currently.

Being allied with the local controlling body could reduce the amount required for earning the warning. Let's say 250k...

I realise there is a system in place, but, personally, I think it could be improved on!
 
I don't know about you, but I have learned to keep my six clear when supercruising and to never pay my bounties at a station owned by the faction who controls the system.

To date, I have never been interdicted or shot after incurring a friendly fire bounty. Not that it happens often... I think I've had to pay about three times.
